WandaVision Episode 9: The Series Finale (Spoiler Free Review)

We have finally reached the end and it is almost too precious to let it go. WandaVision has finally reached its bittersweet end by tying up loose ends as well as leaving some plot points open ended for the rest of the MCU to deal with. It has been such a journey these last few weeks and I am forever grateful for Marvel taking a chance in taking a chance in one of the most complicated comic book character arcs and adapting it in the best way possible but I don't think we are done adapting the House of M just yet. 

The WandaVision series finale (yes... because it is a miniseries) manages to bring out the big guns with the epic battle everyone has been waiting for. It may seem a little bit obvious that by this episode, all CGI budgets were dialed to 11 and because it was made during the quarantine, visuals for the episodes looked more computer than real but the effort is worth making up for it with its amazing storyline. 

Wanda has finally reached her final stage of grief, accepting what is before her and realizing that her heart may be broken but she can heal. Or can she? Not much acting highlights this episode since this was the finale that featured Marvel-like fight scenes but the star of this episode is Paul Bettany's Vision. With references to the Theseus paradox and that epic beam blast battle, Vision has finally reached his level of becoming more than a synthezoid surpassing whatever Ultron or Tony Stark wanted him to be.

I am surprised that everyone was disappointed with the finale. In my opinion, I thought it was great but I do agree that one of the reveals in the episode did disappoint me but everything was what I wanted to be and more. The only viable explanation I can think of why everyone got disappointed with the finale was how certain fan theories got debunked, proving that fans were once again expecting too much. 

For those who are worried that a Marvel sized hole has appeared once again, well... do not fret. Marvel is not done yet. We will have a week break and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier starts, establishing more grounded events taking place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Till then, you fellow readers can finally binge watch the entire WandaVision show in its entirety on Disney Plus or whatever place you guys watching the show in.

Underappreciated Superhero Gold (Blue Beetle - review)

DC is in a tough spot with the new reboot and the constant disinterest in the movies they have been providing, which is unfortunate since films like Shazam and The Flash , despite not being DC's best, had their credits due. Blue Beetle , however, should not be considered a part of that list of DC's mid-to-bad entries for it manages to pull through with its fresh takes on overdone superhero cliches that have managed to make the genre what it is today. Based on an obscure character from the DC catalog, the movie adapts the most recent iteration of the character, Jaime Reyes, who takes up the moniker after unintentionally finding a scarab that symbiotically fuses with him to become the Blue Beetle. This is very much an origin story that takes cues from other superhero movies, but it does not seem like a carbon copy of methods that worked for superhero movies, thrown in a blender to finish a script the same way Black Adam did. The film manages to capture what made superhero movie

An Overlooked, Fun Marvel Adventure (The Marvels spoiler-free review)

  This is probably the closest thing to a Marvel team-up we will get for a while, and it is unfortunate that the drama within the media surrounding this film is based on reasons that are not progressive. However, that is not what we are here to talk about. The Marvels is the latest entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, bringing back Carol Danvers in her latest adventure with Nick Fury and some newfound partnerships with Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan.  The Marvels is set 33 years after the first Captain Marvel movie, where Carol is still trying to save the universe and she thinks she's the only one who can. After the events of WandaVision, Monica is now working with Fury with her new set of powers in his new project called S.A.B.E.R. while Kamala Khan continues to be the giddy, new superhero that protects the residents of New Jersey but an unworldly event connects her mysterious bangle to both Monica and Carol. Due to this cosmic event involving the Kree supremacist, Dar Benn,

Loki season 2 (Full season review)

With Marvel in a sort of whirlpool of viewers not having consistent reception towards the content, they seem to be missing a very important and well-done part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Loki lives up to that statement with its second season. Despite its new writers and directors at the helm, the show still showcases the best parts of Marvel's storytelling.  Taking place immediately after the end of season 1, Loki is dealing with the shenanigans of the TVA and the involvement of Kang variants with the release of the multiverse. It is up to Loki and co. (consisting of Mobius, Hunter B-5, and Casey) to deal with the consequences caused by Sylvie. The show still continues to be a trippy, timey-wimey time travel adventure but adds the Marvel-ous flair that made the franchise so memorable. With new rules and problems being thrown in the mix to deal with, the sci-fi logic continues to be expanded upon, solidifying the greatness of the show.  Unlike most of the Marvel shows that dea
